I presume you mean, ‘when’ I had the chance. As soon as I read this, I thought, well, that’s the story told, intrigue and mystery, over. I would start it like this, I should’ve killed him when I had the chance, but then, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with him.

Ooooh, Love it! I am left wondering…did she fall in love at first sight? Or, did she fall in love after knowing her enemy? In that case, wouldn’t her first mistake be not killing him when she had the chance?

I love it! I really enjoy stories where I know that the end is going to probably be heartbreaking up front. I recently watched the Last 5 Years and it uses a (sort of) retrospective model.
Now I want to know why you’re enemies, what could make you fall in love with you enemy, how is love being defined, and when were you in a position to kill him.

Kinda like that, this was from a post on Facebook where I was encouraged to make up how I met a friend of mine:

I met Paul at a dance gig, he was dancing with a blonde … I forget her name. He suggested I move my reed up past the tip to get a bigger sound on my bari sax. I told him he was a terrible dancer. The blonde just laughed and laughed …

P.S. I went back to my Reader page and entered the firstlinefriday tag to search on, but Diedra’s post doesn’t show there. But it does show in the sites I follow. Does anyone know if it doesn’t show in the tag search because WP is smart enough to know I am already following Diedra? Sorry for going off topic.
